MOF-Templated Synthesis of Co₃O₄@TiO₂ Hollow Dodecahedrons for High-Storage-Density Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Co₃O₄ nanostructures have been extensively studied as anode materials for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their stability and high energy density. However, several drawbacks including low electrical transport and severe volume changes over a long period of operation have limited their utilities in LIBs. Rational composite design is becoming an attractive strategy to improve the performance and stability of potential lithium-ion-battery anode materials. Here, a simple method for synthesizing hollow Co₃O₄@TiO₂ nanostructures using metal-organic frameworks as sacrificial templates is reported. Being used as an anode material for LIBs, the resulting composite exhibits remarkable cycling performance (1057 mAh g^-1</
